Madison - Gov. Scott Walker will not pursue a full expansion of the state's BadgerCare program as foreseen under the federal health care law, seeking instead a more limited expansion of coverage.

The decision will have far-ranging effects on whether and how tens of thousands of Wisconsinites receive health coverage, whether state taxpayers will have to cover tens of millions of dollars of that cost, and how much the state will receive in the coming years out of the billions of dollars in possible federal money to assist the expansion. | Feb. 12, 2013»Read Full Article(191)
